A sexy short story by Gwendolyn Grace

Sale dates 16-18th

Blurb

Josette Lewis has been living a lie and needs to get out of Kentucky as soon as possible. She moved to Louisville with the hope of turning her casual relationship with Derek Vaughn into something more meaningful. She was helplessly in love with him, and wanted to be everything he needed. This meant she drank what he liked, dressed the way he liked and made sure to satisfy him the way he liked. In an attempt to define their shapeless relationship, Josette gives Derek an ultimatum that back fires.

In the midst of her breakup, she is reminded that she must come up with a romance piece for work that involves five fantasy rendezvous assignments for readers, but Josette loathes the idea of writing an article about finding love when she is still trying to recover from her own heartbreak.

As she faces reality and accepts that the man she loved would never be hers, Josette prepares to sell her house in Kentucky but not before changing all the locks and placing an order to have her security system upgraded. When Aidan Ross, a hunky technician, shows up at her front door to fulfill her request she is instantly drawn to his sexy grin and easy going ways. After opening up to him about her article, Aidan offers to help her create the rendezvous assignments in the interest of research. Can Josette let go of her usual pretenses and accept that being herself is exactly what Aidan wants? Will five dates be enough time for him to convince her to stay in Kentucky and take another chance at love?

** This was recently part of the Southern Comforts Anthology, now a standalone

About Gwendolyn

Gwendolyn Grace is a contemporary and erotic romance writer. Her debut novel True made Amazon's Top 100 best-selling list in Women's Fiction. Writing is her passion and she loves to conjure up steamy stories full of emotion, love, and a little bit of angst but promises wrap it all up with a happy ending somehow.

Knox Rosesson is a 28 year-old self-made man, driven by the secrets and lies of his father. He's driven to find the lost half-siblings he knows must exist, to discover the truth about what drove his mother insane, and most of all, to never, ever become like his parents. But so far, that road has lead to personal entanglements he's afraid he'll never escape. These problems persist until he is tasked with guarding the one woman in the world who might be able to fix him, to sear his soul of its troubles and make him whole again.
Mica Nichols has been running her entire life. All her money and success has never brought her the safety she yearns for with all her heart. But one man made her feel safe on a very special night so many years ago, and when she sees him again, she hires him on the spot, while hiding her true identity from everyone, even him. She has followed his mysterious persona for the last decade, unable to reconcile the man she knew with the rumors she has heard. They will have one last chance to make it right, before Mica's past catches up with her.

Lisa Ladew lives in the frozen northwest, a mother and a wife first, and an author second. She says she's not cool or quirky or eccentric, and really has nothing to put on a bio. But she loves a good story and does her best to create enjoyable stories for her readers.
